Can Windows XP x64 read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
Windows XP x64 Edition can use GPT disks for data only.

What you can do is make multiple partitions. Then install Windows on one of the partitions.
Though Why XP 64 bit? Drop that old POS, if you need to use some outdated program Emulate it a free Virtual machine software like Virtual Box.

As said by Kurz, you shouldn't be using windows XP now, but also, Windows XP 64-bit isn't an official Microsoft OS, so you aren't using an official version of windows. I would recommend install Windows 7, windows 8, or windows 8.1 and then update to 10 if you are not gaming, stay at 7 8 or 8.1 if you are gaming.

Supports GPT-partitioned disks for data volumes (but not bootable volumes) after SP1,[11] which allows using disks greater than 2 TB to be used as a single GPT partition for storing data.

Greater then 2tb does not tell me the max I want to know the max it can handle...

Max partition size 18 exabyte = 18 million TB.
